In the evening a rich man named Joseph arrived. He was from the city of Arimathea and had become a disciple of Jesus.
He was placed in a tomb with the wicked. He was put there with the rich when he died, although he had done nothing violent and had never spoken a lie.
He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered that it be given to him.
When John’s disciples heard about this, they came for his body and laid it in a tomb.
When they had finished doing everything that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and placed him in a tomb.
There was a man named Elkanah from Ramathaim Zophim in the mountains of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, grandson of Elihu, great-grandson of Tohu, whose father was Zuph from the tribe of Ephraim.
Then he would return home to Ramah. There, too, he judged Israel. And in Ramah he built an altar to the Lord.
